This bill was introduced in the 2000–2003 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows the City to amend a contract with the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) regarding parking revenue bonds from 1999. The PPA will use these funds for two new parking projects: one at Eighth and Chestnut streets and another at Eighth and Market streets, instead of building a previously planned garage.
